Everything is so lush and green there Tatyana! and of course absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. You have such an eye for photo composition. I can't wait for it to green up here even more now. It is snowing/raining now, but the moisture is good & that will help. I think we are running a bit ahead of schedule too but I don't think by a month?? I'm not sure what I would guess.

Your beds look so good with their new blanket of mulch! The bird's nest is very special! You are such a talented gardener and photographer! You make even hyacinthoides hispanica (Spanish bluebells) the bane of my existence, look magically beautiful. It's always a special treat to peek into your garden through your lens!

You are so kind, Peter! Your comments are very encouraging. I always admire bluebells while driving by Tacoma gardens. I didn't realize they spread so actively. They are welcome in my garden.... so far...

Looking good, Tatyana! Where do you begin to describe it all?! I especially took note of your moss path (I think it's a path...or moss-covered bricks?...0066.jpg). How did you create that? It's magical!
